The Ring

I'm generally not a ring person. I feel that they hamper my hand movements somehow. And never could understand why Frodo was so fascinated with the ring he pledged to destroy - aesthetic-wise, that is. It's just a plain gold band onliee mah.

Anyway, this is my stage wedding ring. I found it stashed in my purse today. Must have forgotten to keep it safe with my other accessories after the play ended. Couldn't bear to risk it being scratched by my coins and thus wore it on my ring finger today. Right hand.

My colleague M noticed it when I walked past her and cheekily flashed it to her. She gave me a delighted grin, "Wow, finally!"

"No lar, just wearing it because it looks nice. Wrong hand summore," I said.

H, another colleague asked, "Right hand is for engagement rings, right?"

I thought for a while and recalled seeing an engaged friend wearing her ring on her right hand, "Yeah lar, you are right, H. The ring also looks like an engagement one. But it can't fit my other fingers, except for the ring finger. Aiya, never mind lar. Doesn't matter if our colleagues think I'm engaged or married."

All three of us looked at the ring with wonder. For a cheap piece of costume jewellery, it is a pretty shiny thing. Hmmm, perhaps I can get used to wearing rings if they all look as nice as this.
